50 paginette striminzite (togliendo quelle inutili di presentazione, intro e conclusione) per 15$ l'ebook e 20$ il cartaceo sono quasi un furto.

Copre molto rapidamente quasi tutte le caratteristiche del DB, ma senza approfondirne nessuna.

Fosse stato un pamphlet pubblicitario avrebbe avuto un suo perché, ma così no. Consiglio di orientarsi su altri manuali più approfonditi.

This book is a quick, easy to understand overview of MongoDB and its use in PHP. I've been using MongoDB in production environments for almost a year now and I learned several new things while reading this.

Full disclosure: the author is a good friend of mine—a fact that didn't affect my rating or (very short) review.
